    The point is that ADHD is an executive function disorder. There’s a lot of inertia to overcome before starting a task for someone with this disorder. It’s not like she didn’t know it was urgent or important, that actually probably played right into why she couldn’t do it



  • I do actually have AvPD. I was diagnosed at the same time as I was with ADHD (at 35), and it was really a huge surprise to me that I had this whole disorder that I wasn’t even aware of. I had barely left my house in the four years leading up to that, so maybe I should have had an inkling lol.

    I have to say that either my experience with AvPD is extremely different than what’s often presented, or a lot of “experts” don’t really understand what they are talking about. Dr. Honda knows what he’s talking about, though. Thank you for sharing ^^

    Hypoallergenic is a good word to look for. If the low dust litter is helping, the other comment about filters on vents is definitely something you should try.

    I would also suggest a log of fits, and record when she had them, what she was around, and what she was doing. Allergens are common triggers, but exercise can also trigger an attack on some. Or it might be an unknown variable that will only be obvious from your logged data

    She’s lucky to have someone who is trying so hard to give her a higher quality of life

    I was originally going to suggest low dust litter, but it’s entirely possible it’s a fragrance that is triggering her attacks in close contact with you. Things like laundry detergents and deodorant often have strong scents that even some humans need to avoid
